Our Story Forum

For the past nine years, the Latino Community Foundation of Colorado (LCFC) has conducted an Our Story Forum to convene community leaders, policy and decision makers, and stakeholders to elevate and address issues pertinent to the statewide Latino community. We believe that transformative societal change is only possible when the collective power of the Latino community is forged together. This event focuses on deep-dive community learnings presented by Latino leaders as well as personal connections built between community members at this one-of-a-kind event.

Due to the pandemic, Our Story Forum was held online in 2020, turned into a podcast in 2022 and will return to a live event in 2024.

Our next Our Story Forum will be held in 2024.

  • Latino Identity: Merging the "Me" with the "We”

    This multi-generational conversation on identity includes Tony Meneses, creator and playwright of Twenty50, Dr. Deb Ortega, Professor, University of Denver, Aaron Abeyta, Poet and Author of Antonito, CO, and Izabella Williams student at Metro State University. These generations of Coloradoans explore the role that identity plays in our ability to come together and ask the question, “Will we be able to harness our collective power?”
